Thursday, January 30, 1986 Nebraska, Page 16 Daily Nebraskan Talent n player co ted Texa msiders By John Carlson Staff Reporter Nebraska is one of t hree schools still in contention to sign Texas all-state defensive end Kenny Walker, whom the Dallas Morning News calls "the most talented defensive end to come out of the state of Texas." Crane Texas High School coach Ricky White said Walker is the greatest athlete ever born because he is a 6 feet, 4 inches tall and can jump 42 inches straight up, "He (Walker) has the most athletic ability I have ever seen," White said. "He is second to none." Besides his athletic ability, Walker is also distinguished by the fact that he is deaf. White said that Walker overcomes his disability by being a tremendous lip reader. "His deafness doesn't really affect his play," he said in a telephone inter view. "He goes to the ball better than anyone I have ever seen." Walker visited the Nebraska campus the weekend of Jan. 17 through 19. Although he has already visited Texas Tech and plans to visit Baylor, White said that Walker was very impressed with Nebraska. "Walker wore a Nebraska shirt to school (the next day) so you can take whatever deduction you want from that," he said. "He could have gone to any university in the nat ion." White said that Walker has felt the usual pressure that most Texas foot ball recruits feel to stay home and play at either Baylor or Texas Tech. But, White said, Walker knows how to deal with the pressures of recruiting. "He knows how to say no to recruit ers," he said. "He (Walker) is a very intelligent kid and education is very important to him." White said that Walker will give a verbal commitment to either Nebraska, Baylor or Texas Tech on February 6. National Collegiate Athletic Associ ation rules prohibit high school ath letes from signing a letter of intent until February 12. "Once the signing date is set, he will sit back and be glad with his decision," White said. "He will be an asset not only to the athletic program he chooses but to the community and state he chooses." - - "s. r -i f r d) 51 As beer lovers know, nothing equals draft beer for sheer smoothness. As beer lovers also know, this smooth taste seems to disappear once a beer is bottled. That's because most bottled beers are pasteurized-or cooked.
